After a long battle with the at fault carrier, we were compensated fullest payout under the insureds policy limits. This wouldnt have been accomplished without the help of the Boyadjian Law Group. Thank you for all the hard work!!

Boyadjian law group is a close relative of mine and typically I would not review such close family but they recently helped me out with my car accident and they accomplished what I could not on my own. It is so refreshing when you do not have to deal with the hassle of a car accodent on your own.

I don’t write a lot of reviews but I was so happy and thankful for the good experience I had working with Ajalat Law and I thought it might help someone else who is looking for a personal injury lawyer. Everything about my experience with Greg Ajalat was awesome!! To begin with he told me he wanted to do some research before agreeing to take my case, because it was a complicated one. I could tell he wasn’t just going to take my money no matter what, and really wanted to be sure it made sense to move forward with my claim.
At every step Mr. Ajalat kept me informed about what he was doing, how long it would take, and what possibilities we could expect. When there were several options, he talked me through them and didn’t pressure me at all to choose one or the other, just explained them to me and let me choose. There were no unexpected expenses. Even though my case was complicated and it was hard to predict how much the settlement would be, Mr. Ajalat gave me an estimate, and was able to get me an amount at the top of that range!
The whole time I felt like I was talking to a real human being, who cared about my situation, thought carefully about things before making decisions, and genuinely wanted me to have a good experience with his firm. Mr. Ajalat was respectful and kind and made what could have been a very stressful situation much better. If you have a case of this type I recommend this firm so highly!

My husband and I strongly recommend Ajalat and Ajalat whom we depend on for all legal issues. In our car related personal injury case Greg Ajalat was not only a great advocate but also a personal support offering wise counsel all the way through the process. He always was available and made the process as painless as possible. I highly recommend Greg. More recently we worked with Larry Ajalat to create our Living Trust. Larry was thoughtful, a good listener as well as extremely competent providing us with excellent guidance as he helped us to make decisions about our future.

I worked with Vardan on my accident case in which my whole family was involved and our car was totaled. Vardan is absolutely the best attorney you can find. He has outstanding customer service skills and is available to answer questions at any time of the day. He also explains the process in great details, lets you know of next steps and keeps you informed throughout the lengthy process, which can take up to 2 years to finalize. He put together comprehensive documentation for our case and earned us maximum settlement with the auto insurance. In addition, thanks to his outstanding negotiation skills, he was able to reduce the treating doctors' lien claims, which further increased our settlement. We were very pleased with the outcome of our personal injury case. I wholeheartedly recommend Vardan and his entire law group.

I had an excellent experience working with Shamsi Law after my car accident. I was referred to them by a family friend, and I'm so grateful for the recommendation. From the moment I contacted their office, they were professional, compassionate, and incredibly responsive. Shamsi and her team guided me through every step of the process, making a stressful situation much easier to manage. They handled all the details, kept me informed, and fought hard for a fair settlement. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcome and highly recommend Shamsi Law for anyone in need of expert legal assistance.

Sean’s communication left much to be desired, and I didn’t feel supported when I had questions or concerns. The settlement outcome was underwhelming, and I felt like more could have been done to advocate on my behalf.

Madeline is an excellent lawyer, and I would recommend her to anyone. When I was arrested for a DUI, I hired Madeline, and she was able to get my DUI reduced to a "wet reckless" charge instead, so now I have NO DUI ON MY RECORD! Thanks Madeline!

Unhappy with outcome, as I could have gotten the same results representing myself and saving $1,800. Maybe she quoted her fee at that low amount because she knew that she didn't need much incentive and would not be doing much for me besides filing papers and getting one plea option, with no actual defense or effort put forth or contesting on her end.
For all who read this $1,800 is a lot for just paperwork, but very little for quality representation, which is not what I got. My penalties and fees were that of a repeat offender, which I was NOT. I would've represented myself and filed my own paperwork if I'd known better. Some attorneys never understand the weight of the responsibility for their clients future they bear when they take on cases, accept retainers and fees, and don't even try. DUI/DWI, from my experience, Madeline is not the best choice. Other attorneys I've consulted with and even personal friends of mine have said that there may have been other approaches to my case to explore. This attorney is just lazy. I do not recommend.

I was charged with multiple DUI offences. My attorney Madeline Galadjian never made any false promises she told me the reality, from the begining. She told me the best and worst possible outcome, and what I needed to do on my own to improve myself. she always responded to any of my calls and met me in person before every court appearance. I wass speech less. The outcome was beyond my expectations.

John isn’t a good lawyer at all. He takes your money and blow smoke up your behind I really think he works with the DA. He maybe was a good lawyer in the past but not now at all. He throws you to the wolves. I will recommend you find someone else my family paid him $35 k for nothing that I could’ve done myself

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You
A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.
When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:
- Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
- Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
- Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
- Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
- Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:
- Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
- Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
- Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
- Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.
How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
- Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
- No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.
Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:
- Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
- Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.
While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
How long will my case take?
While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.
How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
- Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
- Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
- Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:
- Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
- Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
- Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
- Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
- Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.
By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
